1. Revolvers are the way forward. Now I know that each weapon has their place whether it being your tool of choice or potential money. But during my first play through, I found lots of pistols, but at the same time the same level revolver was so much better. Despite its smaller clip size and lower rate of fire, the revolver would do the same damage in one bullet that the pistol would take eight to ten to do and worked out as a faster firing method. Also, even though this is completely by chance, but the revolvers I found had more awesome special effects.

2. Vehicles clip badly. This should not be a problem in today’s games, but there should be better collision detection. I don’t know if it is the hit box on the environment of the car, but numerous times when I have run into a piece of scenery, the car is sometimes noticeably not in contact with it. When playing the game I don’t give it a second thought, but outside I can’t ignore that I should not hit air and stop.

3. Every game should have this experience system. In Borderlands you gain experience for every kill you get, to a point. As you level up you gain less and less experience for killing the same type and level of an enemy. Eventually you will get zero experience for killing a far weaker enemy. Games should start to do this as it almost removes the element of grinding. It creates a smoother game experience as there is almost no need to stop for an undetermined amount of time just so you can get powerful enough to kill the next boss. In Borderlands there was almost no points where I was too weak to complete a mission. Granted, some of them were hard as nails, but I never had to grind.

4. Claptrap should have his own game. Even if it is the worst game ever, and it ruins every game I play from that point on for the rest of my life. But after watching the Claptrap promotional videos and playing Borderlands, Claptrap made that game for me. I would sometime sit there for about fifteen minutes and just watch Claptrap dance. Call me crazy but when robot butlers become real, that is my robot of choice.

5. I love loot collecting. I will be honest; I did not buy Borderlands for the loot collecting aspect, in fact that was the one thing I hated before I played the game. I can now see what people are going on about. I have seen the error of my ways. I have not played Diablo or any other dungeon crawler, loot collector, but I am going to assume that their loot collection system is slower in the aspect of getting better loot. That is okay to me now; I want to sit down for hours just to get a piece of equipment that gives me a +1 in some random stat. After I am done getting all four characters up to level 50, I will most likely go back and keep playing until I have the highest level of loot in each slot for each of my characters. It might sound weird, but Borderlands has made me want to purchase Diablo 3 the day it is released.
